  Fig. 1. Ultrasound imaging and schematic representation of a supraclavicular lipoma are depicted in both the (A) short axis and (B) long axis views of the brachial plexus. The supraclavicular lipoma (arrowheads) is a well-demarcated hypoechoic mass. The brachial plexus (yellow arrows), omohyoid muscle (blue arrow), and suprascapular nerve (red arrow) are present. SEA, serratus anterior muscle; SA, subclavian artery; SCL, subclavius muscle; CLA, clavicle.
